The BP Bridge – a pretty bridge…

Jay Pritzker Pavilion - this is a definite work of art

The beams are supposed to signify sound waves.

Cloud Gate - this is known as the bean to Chicago natives.

The Crown Fountain – see faces, get wet.

People back their cars up to the little wire at the edge of these round parking garages. I’d be a little worried parking in here.

You have a coin with two sides – this side is for no food.

When you flip your coin over, you start getting food.

A Brazilian cowboy stopping by with a sharp knife and meat on a stick to hook you up with some good food.
